Easy Chipped Beef Cheese Ball
Description
The recipe combines cream cheese softened to a smooth texture with chopped chipped beef and fresh green onions for a balance of creamy and savory bites. Shredded cheddar cheese adds sharpness, while Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt deepen the flavor profile. After mixing, the mixture is formed into a ball and chilled until firm. Rolling the chilled ball in additional reserved beef and green onions creates a textured, flavorful outer layer.
This cheese ball maintains a spreadable yet firm consistency, suitable for serving alongside crackers or bread at gatherings. The dried beef gives a distinct salty character typical of chipped beef preparations. The recipe is straightforward and requires no cooking.
Chilling time is important to develop the ball's firmness and flavor melding.
Ingredients
- 2 (8 Ounce) package cream cheese softened
- 5 ounces dried beef chopped, divided
